[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 727975, member: 6681"] Anything you grow will have a market. But if it's not seen much, it probably won't have much of a market. Take a look around and do some research into different breeds. Find one you see yourself enjoying enough to mess with. If you enjoy it, you will do it well. If you do it well, you will create your own market. A belted galloway for instance, around here, will take one heck of a hit at the sale barn. Not because it's a bad cow, but because a buyer can no way make a load with them. But I know a couple breeders who wouldn't walk away from them for anything. And they make profit on them. But they have their own customer base away from the sale barn. The same can be said for other "unconventional" breeds in your market. With 4 cows and a bull, or 5 cows and AI, the "market rules" will never apply to you anyway. (unless you're having a fire sale). Have as much fun with it as you can, because the money part is tough from the mega ranch down to the hobby farm. [/QUOTE]
